The Western International Hockey League was a senior amateur hockey league that operated from 1946 until the mid-1980's. It was located primarily in British Columbia, and evolved out of the West Kootenay Hockey League.
The WIHL was formed in the summer of 1946 with teams in the British Columbian cities of Kimberley, Trail, Nelson, and two US-based cities, Spokane Washington and Los Angeles California. The team's championship trophy was known as the George Montgomery - Dinah Shore Trophy, as it was donated by that famous entertainment duo.
Since the league was organized in Canada, it played for the Allan Cup, awarded to the top Canadian Senior hockey team. It also played for the Savage Cup, awarded to the top Senior British Columbian hockey team. These two trophies occasionally ended up in the United States, with Spokane winning the honors.
